Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide necessary information for product installation, operation and maintenance. User safety General safety rules
• Always keep work area clean • Pay attention to the risks presented by gas and vapors in the work area. • Avoid all electrical dangers. Pay attention to the risks of electric shock or
arc flash hazards
• Always bear inmindtheriskof drowning, electrical accidentsandburninjuries
Bilge pumps shall be mounted in accordance with the pump manufacturer instructions, and in an accessible location to permit servicing and cleaning of the intake and/or screening. On boats with an enclosed accommodation compartment, an audible alarm shall be installed indicting that the bilge water is approaching the maximum bilge water level. Bulkhead penetrations shall be in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-2, Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline, to minimize the potential for migration of carbon monoxide from machinery compartments containing gasoline engines to adjacent accommodation compartments. Potential electrical sources of ignition located in spaces containing gasoline powered machinery, or gasoline fuel tank(s), or joint fitting(s), or other connection(s) between components of a gasoline system, shall be ignition protected, unless the component is isolated from a gasoline fuel source as described in ABYC E-11.5.3.3.
CAUTION: Read thismanual carefully before installing,using orservicing this product. Failure to follow the instructions within this manual could result in explosion, property damage, severe personal injury and/or death. DANGER: This productis not intended for damage control orto deal with flooding resulting from hull damage. This product is intended to be used in Bilge Pumping Systems for small craft with a hull length up to 24 meters, as described within the introduction and scope of ISO 15083. Bilge Pumping Systems, as specified in ISO 15083, are limited to normal amounts of water in an intact boat due to spray, rain, seepage, spillage, and occasional small amounts of water shifting from boat movements in heavy weather. Use of product in any other way could result in flooding, catastrophic damage to craft, serious personal injury, or death. WARNING: This pump is designed for use with fresh water and salt water ONLY. Use with any other hazardous, caustic, or corrosive material could result in damage to the pump and the surrounding environment, possible exposure to hazardous substances and injury.
Exception:
1. Boats using diesel fuel as the only fuel source. 2. Outboard engines mounted externally or in compartments open to the
atmosphere in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-2, Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline.
The bilge pump inlet shall be located so that excess bilge water can be removed from the bilge at static floating position, and at maximum conditions created by the boat’s motion, heel, and trim. Electrical Disconnect power before installing or servicing the pump. Our pump is equipped with silicone blocked, tin coated 16 gauge (1.5 mm2) wire.

RuleMate Intelligence RuleMate bilge pumps have built-in programming that can sense when the pump is running but not pumping water to protect the pump, vessel, and the vessel’s batteries. If debris fouls the sensor or the pump becomes air-bound, the pump will stop running and begin to “check” for water every 2-1/2 minutes. Once the debris is removed, the pump will revert to its normal operation, turning on when the waterreachesapproximately2-1/2"(63.5mm)andshuttingoffat5/8"(15.87mm). Our RuleMate bilge pumps contain a fail-safe back-up program that measures the amount of work the motor is performing and the length of time the motor is running. If debris, such as a wet paper towel or leaves, became lodged against the pump, it could “trick” the pump into thinking water remained in the bilge which could deplete the vessel’s battery. If the circuit board senses the motor is running but doing little work (not pumping water) for longer than fifteen seconds, the pump will enter into a cycling mode in the same fashion as the computerized pumps. The pump will sense water every 2-1/2 minutes and if it senses water, it will continue to run until the water has been removed from the bilge. Afterthedebrisisremoved,thepumpwillautomaticallyreverttothelevelsensingmode.
CAUTION: Disconnect power from the system before working on the unit to avoid personal injury, damage to the surrounding environment and/or damage to the unit. CAUTION: Always install proper fuse size to prevent damage to product should ashort occur. Failure to install proper fuse could increaseriskof pump malfunction, potentially resulting in personal injury and/or fire hazard. CAUTION: Keep all wire connections above the highest water level. Wires must be joined with butt connectors and a marine grade sealant to prevent wire corrosion.

Plumbing This bilge pump has been designed to be used with flexible hose. Rigid piping or tubing may damage the pump or the pump’s discharge. Factors that reduce the flow of a bilge pump may include but are not limited to the following:
• The length of discharge piping (longer runs reduce flow) • The number or radius of bends • The roughness of the interior surfaces of piping and fittings (smooth bore
hose is best)
• The reduction (hose restriction) in cross-sectional area of discharge system
components such as check valves and thru-hulls
Attach the discharge hose to the hose barb using stainless steel hose clamps. The thru-hull discharge fitting should be mounted at least 8" (20.3 cm) above the heeled water line to prevent water siphoning in from outside the vessel or the discharge may be located below the maximum heeled waterline if the discharge line is provided with both of the following:
• A seacock installed in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-27,
Seacocks, Thru-Hull Connections, and Drain Plugs, and
• A vented loop or other means to prevent siphoning into the boat. A check
valve shall not be used for this purpose.
If the discharges of several pumps are manifolded to discharge through a single thru-hull fitting, the system shall be designed so that the operation of one pump will not back feed another pump, and the simultaneous operation of each pump will not diminish the pumping capacity of the system. A check valve shall not be used in the discharge manifold system. A check valve may be used only when necessary to prevent an automatic bilge pump from cycling on and off due to back flow from the discharge line. Hose connections shall be secured with a non-corrosive type of clamp, or be mechanically fastened with permanently-attached end fittings, such as swaged sleeve. Threaded inserts shallbe attachedwith corrosionresistantmetallic clamps.
Best practice: Use two stainless steel hose clamps to attach hose to hose barb.
During the winterization of a vessel, it’s recommended that you remove the check valve (if equipped) and drain any residual water from the plumbing. Periodically remove, clean and inspect bilge pump, check valve and its surroundings for damage or debris that may reduce the performance of the pump. Installation Push tabs on either side of the pump to remove pump from the base. We recommend using #8 stainless steel flathead screws of an adequate length as to secure the pump but not penetrate the entire thickness of the hull. Use a flexible sealant in the screw holes to prevent water from penetrating the screw holes. Insert the pump into the base and push down until an audible “click” is heard. Flow — GPH (LPH)
